cheddar biscuits
Alan refuses to go to Red Lobster. I can’t blame him – every time we’ve ever gone we’ve found it overpriced and underwhelming. But the biscuits – the biscuits!! – are such a guilty pleasure that it {almost} makes it worth it.
I’ve only made these twice. The first time I had a huge box of Bisquick that I bought strictly for the use of making my mom’s biscuits for strawberry shortcake (none other will do). But I generally don’t care for recipes that call for Bisquick yet I didn’t want to just toss the entire box. A quick google search brought up the Red Lobster biscuits. Yes. Must try!!
They’re as good as I remembered only even better since they’re right in my own kitchen. And since I’ve gotten a lot of requests for lactose-free recipes lately, I wanted to post this since it’s so easy to make it without lactose! All you have to do is swap out the whole milk for lactose-free milk and make sure you use an aged cheddar cheese. Crazy easy! And if you’re looking for even more recipes that are lactose-free, I have a few posted over at Moovision along with some other great cooks and chefs. You can post your own favorites there, too. I have a couple more lactose-free recipes up my sleeve coming later this week!
In the meantime, head straight to your kitchen and make these yummy biscuits, preferably before the kids get home from school so you don’t have to share.
Cheddar Biscuits
- 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 4 tablespoons cold butter (butter contains only trace amounts of lactose)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (aged if going for lactose-free)
- 3/4 cup cold whole milk (or lactose-free milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Brush on top
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 pinch salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine Bisquick and cold butter. Don’t combine too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter about the size of peas.
- Add cheddar, milk and 1/4 tsp garlic.
- Mix by hand until combined, but don’t over mix.
- Drop 9 equal portions onto greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until tops are light brown.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 tsp garlic powder and parsley flakes.
- Use a pastry brush to spread garlic butter over tops of biscuits.

I love how easy these are! They look so tasty.
My mom is a HUGE fan of Red Lobster biscuits so I make these every year around the holidays. Can't wait to make them again!
I agree with Alan on Red Lobster (my hubby feels the same way about Olive Garden), but I just can't get enough of their biscuits, and also their cheesy crayfish fondue. If you could come up with a recipe for that fondue, I would be in heaven! But, I will start with these biscuits :)
I'm so excited reading this recipe! I live in Northern New England, and the closest Red Lobster is in CT. I have actually driven out of there in desperation when I lived a little closer. It was hilarious, the lines were so long, and my boyfriend and I were definitely not the only people who had traveled more than 100 miles for those biscuits!
Who would have though something so incredibly delicious would be so easy? And stranger still, who thought it would start with Bisquick? I agree with you on strawberry shortcake though, I suppose Bisquick has more going for it than I thought.
Hmm, aged cheese has less lactose than new cheese? I never knew that, but that's very helpful to know. I often cook for groups, and with food allergies of all sorts becoming more common, it's nice to know how I can still work with my favorite recipes. These biscuits look great!
This is a keeper! My family asked for more!
My try came out yummy! I also added extra cheese because I
love cheese. I am going to make these all the time. These are to die for!
I was concerned about the size since I made it slightly bigger than suggested. But it turned out that neither my daughter or son could stop eating them! Great recipe, thanks.
I was explaining to my boyfriend the other night how DELISH Red Lobster's biscuits are… he's never had them. I'm hoping to take him to the restaurant one day, but I LOVE to bake. Thanks for sharing these… I can't wait to give him a taste of what he's missing!
My daughter is lactose-intolerant. Thank you for preparing recipes which are lactose-free or which can be substituted. Now we can both enjoy this cheddar biscuit :)
Amazing recipe! My hubby just loves cheese and he had a hard time waiting for the biscuits to be out of the oven… The smell of cheddar cheese as they were being baked was just out of this world. Will definitely cook them again (very soon!) :-)
Going to try and make these tonight! Love you recipes!
